Yes Falcons already tweeting they are confirmed as top of the
league and are coming up excellent news. Let’s just hope they
can survive financially.

Well it looks terminal doesn't it? Perhaps we could add a round
of fixtures to an extended season next year with home advantage
decided by mutual consent/flip of a coin but with the home
revenue being split 50/50.?

"It was agreed that final standings for the Greene King IPA
Championship and men’s and women’s community game would be
calculated on a best playing record formula maintaining
promotion and relegation for those leagues. "
It would be really interesting (to me anyway :-) ) to see what
the formula is.
Basically, here is the reason.
Assume Deadly is right and this becomes an annual event. Then
you could choose which games to focus on early in the season to
give you the best results in the formula.
It would be a bit like cricket games where the weather is
closing in and the team captain knows what the DLS targets are.
In this case, they actively try to increase the run rate in a
specific over just to get ahead of the target instead of playing
the innings according to the original plan.

That's for the PRL to decide (with some input from the RFU no
doubt). They'll wait as long as possible before declaring the
season over, in case some miracle happens and some meaningful
games can be played before the summer & pre-season for 2020/21
season.

RFU announcement:
League positions for the Greene King IPA Championship, Tyrrells
Premier 15s and community game have been confirmed.
RFU
Following the early end of the rugby season in England as a
result of COVID-19, The Rugby Football Union has announced the
final league positions.
Proposals from the RFU governance committee to conclude the
season for those leagues at both professional and community
level were yesterday ratified by the RFU Council.
It was agreed that final standings for the Greene King IPA
Championship and men’s and women’s community game would be
calculated on a best playing record formula maintaining
promotion and relegation for those leagues.
As a result Newcastle Falcons have been promoted back to the
Premiership, while Yorkshire Carnegie are relegated to National
League One.
The Tyrrells Premier 15s season has been declared null and void
as there is no promotion or relegation in this league.
RFU President, Peter Wheeler, said: “We believe that the
decisions made provide fair and balanced outcomes for the game
and maintain the integrity of the competitions. We have listened
to recommendations from the heart of the game and the approach
has been ratified by the RFU Council.
“This has been a difficult decision to make in the most
unprecedented of circumstances. There is no single solution that
will suit every club, but the approach taken is one that we
believe best reflects the nature of league rugby in England.
“With 80% of the season complete for the community game, we
believe our approach is fair and the right one for our leagues.
We have clubs that are clear league leaders and those who have
said they would benefit from relegation to play more meaningful
rugby.”
